Iran analyst & researcher — London

Reza Gheibi

Reading Iran through Persian-language evidence and the public record.

I work across Persian-language and public sources to establish what the record supports, what remains uncertain, and what should be treated as assessment rather than fact.

Clear thinking, under uncertainty.
How I work

Fact. Reported claim. Assessment. Confidence.

I separate fact from reported claim, identify where sources conflict, state my assessment and my confidence in it, and specify what evidence would change the view. Every material finding is traced to its source.

01
Fact
What the record establishes, traced to a primary source and archived on first access.
02
Reported claim
What a source alleges — graded for reliability and credibility, never presented as settled.
03
Assessment
My judgement on what the evidence most plausibly means, with the basis shown.
04
Confidence
Graded High, Moderate or Low, in plain and consistent terms — not hidden behind a confident tone.
Three paths

One standard of evidence, three kinds of work.

Changes like restructuring the quotas would, at best, change the way the shortage is distributed — not the shortage itself.
